Natalia Gutierrez Cop

Department Attorney | LLP Global Finance Group

About Natalia Gutierrez Cop:

Natalia Gutierrez Cop works as a department attorney in the Global Finance group. She represents major financial institutions and trust companies in their roles as trustees, custodians, administrators, and agents.

Her work sits at the centre of how financial institutions operate, grow, and manage risk. Natalia Gutierrez Cop advises banks and trust companies on financing transactions that range from commercial lending and working capital deals to leveraged financings and credit facilities.

That breadth of experience means she can step into almost any type of deal and contribute from day one.

Before she joined the firm, Natalia Gutierrez Cop worked on structured finance and CDO transactions at U.S. Bank. She handled every phase of those deals, from warehousing through to discharge on the corporate trustee side.

That hands-on banking background gives her a practical edge that many lawyers in this space simply do not have. Her peers took notice too she earned a spot in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch 2026 in the field of Banking and Finance Law through a peer-review survey.

Core Practice Areas:

Natalia Gutierrez Cop focuses on finance work that matters to the institutions she represents. Her main areas of expertise include:

• Corporate Trust — She represents financial institutions and trust companies that act as trustees, custodians, paying agents, and administrators across a wide range of debt transactions.
• Commercial Finance — She advises on working capital facilities, asset-based lending, and other commercial financing structures that keep businesses funded and running.
• Leveraged Financings and Credit Facilities — She works on complex leveraged lending transactions and advises on the structuring and documentation of credit facilities for institutional clients.
• Structured Finance and CDO Transactions — She brings direct experience from the corporate trustee side, having worked on structured finance and CDO deals through every stage of the transaction lifecycle.

She moves between these areas with ease, and that flexibility makes her a dependable advisor for clients juggling multiple types of financing at once.

Industry Focus:

Natalia Gutierrez Cop works almost exclusively with financial institutions. She knows how they think, how they measure risk, and what they expect from outside counsel.

Her clients include:

• Major banks and multinational financial institutions that act as trustees, custodians, and agents in complex debt and securitisation transactions
• Trust companies that need advice on corporate trust matters across public and private debt markets
• Institutional lenders involved in commercial finance, asset-based lending, and credit facility transactions

She does not stop at legal advice. She pays attention to the commercial pressures her clients deal with every day and shapes her guidance around that reality.

Market Outlook and Client Approach:

The financial services landscape has changed significantly in recent years. The collapse of banks like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, paired with rising interest rates and broader economic uncertainty, turned this into a market where caution and strategy matter more than ever.

Natalia Gutierrez Cop keeps this reality front and centre in her practice. She helps clients pursue their business goals while managing and reducing risk at every step.

She sits down with her clients, identifies where growth opportunities exist, and builds strategies to increase market share even when conditions feel uncertain. That kind of forward-thinking, commercially grounded approach sets her apart from lawyers who only think about the legal side of a deal.

Previous Experience — U.S. Bank:
